2023 Genesis GV60 Performance – A compact luxury EV with a boost button
/

comments
Genesis (and Hyundai-Kia generally) are absolutely killing it lately, I drove the G70, G80, and G90 over the past year. And, oddly enough I just realized I did those reviews in numerical order, but that’s not the point. They were all fantastic sedans with a great mix of sport and luxury. It’s clear that Genesis…

2022 Audi RS 3 – Review

comments
I’m at a point in my life where I just want a car to feel special. That doesn’t mean it has to be expensive, it just has to have a certain quality, one that is almost hard to describe. When you are behind the wheel, it should entertain as well as transport. When you park…

I’ll admit, I get a little tired of crossovers. Looking through my 2022 press loan review list, just over 1/3 were crossovers. It’s not that they are boring, it’s that they are all so good that it is becoming harder and harder to differentiate them. And no, I don’t mean that they all look alike.…

2022 Mazda CX-30 Premium – Review

comments
Automobile sizes are incredibly relative from country to country, or at least from continent to continent. When I was in Germany recently, around the holidays, I was reminded of just how compact some “family cars” are. What we consider small works for a family of four, or even five, overseas. The Mazda CX-30 was built…

My year with a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E (and why I just sold it)

I like to occasionally take a break from new car reviews and focus on my own buying experiences. I feel like people (often) ask me what I drive as an automotive journalist because they assume I’m pretty informed about what’s good, and I purchase accordingly. And I suppose that’s true, though the recent craziness in…

Life is unpredictable, a wise man once said that it’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get, or when you’re going to get it. My last road-trip review of the 4Runner TRD Pro alluded to some significant life changes on the horizon for me. That trip was important for…

Alright hoons, this one is going to be a bit different, a bit more personal if you’ll indulge me. As Ferris Bueller said, “life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, I decided I was at a point where I needed to get…

Ken Block’s ELECTRIKHANA: High Stakes Playground; Las Vegas

comments
The Hoonigan Media Machine is back at it, and this time HHIC Ken Block is back at the wheel. While they made it sound like the Gymkhana franchise was being handed over to Travis Pastrana, it’s clear that there is still some petrol left in Block’s tank. Only this time, there is only electricity, as…

Welcome to “Chasing Speed” where I delve into my own psyche, explaining my decades long obsession with going faster. I’ll try and make it smooth ride, but I can’t promise anything. This is what happens when press loaners are on a brief hiatus, you get the philosophical version of your favorite new car reviewer. OK,…

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4Matic l Review

comments
It’s that odd time of the year where press loaners are changing over from one model year to the next. That tends to limit availability, plus our local auto press association does an annual rally this time of year making loaners even more scarce. So, I dug into the archives to review this Mercedes-Benz GLB,…
